Running up the De Havilland Gipsy Major 1C engine in the afternoon at Duxford. This Tiger Moth was constructed in 1940 and taken on RAF charge in the same year. The Gipsy Moth and Tiger Moth were to provide a pool of trained civilian pilots when war broke out in 1939, and continued to provide elementary flying training during World War II.
